Toyota Factory

Toyota City's leading manufacturer welcomes visitors to see exactly how cars are put together at its plant. More intriguing are the futuristic showcases of concepts such as neon-lit single-seater capsules and trumpet-playing robots at its Kaikan Museum.

While the reconstructed living quarters and its extraordinary collection of more than 12,000 items gives visitors a taste of feudal Japan, it's the 1130 AD handscrolls of the Tale of Genji, sometimes called the world's first novel, that are among its must-see treasures.

Located in downtown Sakae, Café Flow is divided into three sections. The first floor has luxurious sofas for lounging, the second-floor café offers cakes and casual chatting while the rooftop Flow Garden is the perfect spot for couples.

Completed in 1612, Nagoya Castle is perhaps the city's most famous landmark. As if this isn't enough reason to visit, in its grounds stands a Torreya Nut Tree, a designated natural monument that stood 200 years before the castle was even built.

Fancy a ride on the world's largest wooden rollercoaster? The seemingly mistitled Nagashima Spa Land just outside of Nagoya is more about thrills than relaxation but for kids at heart it's a day trip that promises exhilaration.

It is as if market stalls grew into actual shops at Osu Shopping Arcade where bustling lanes are lined with knickknack stores, discount electronics, antiques, kimonos and even imported food. Here's a chance to pick up something quite unexpected.
